Executed in 1961

Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

In October last year Christies in London held the auction 20th/21st Century: London Evening Sale, which included the work Concetto spaziale, Attese by Lucio Fontana. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,842,000.00 (€ 2,145,909.60), 23% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Lucio Fontana achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Concetto Spaziale, La Fine Di Dio in November 2015 with an auction result of USD 29,173,000.00 (€ 27,620,715.77).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Im Oktober letzten Jahres führte Christies in London die Auktion 20th/21st Century: London Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Concetto spaziale, Attese von Lucio Fontana zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.842.000,00 (€ 2.145.909,60) und damit 23% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Lucio Fontana erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Concetto Spaziale, La Fine Di Dio im November 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 29.173.000,00 (€ 27.620.715,77).
